This gave me chills...what an inspiring story. Please take a few minutes to watch:)

In August, Patrick McConlogue, a New York entrepreneur, programmer and designer, gave the homeless guy an old laptop, three textbooks and an hour of his time each day for two months. The result was a life changing offer that is paying off.

A police officer in south Florida was faced with the prospect of arresting a single mother who was caught shoplifting groceries to feed her family. Officer Vicki Thomas was so moved by the plight of the struggling mom of three children that she decided to buy her $100 worth of groceries. "Arresting her wasn't going to solve the problem," said Thomas, who charged her with a misdemeanor.

Since the story went public Monday, good Samaritans have also stepped in to help Jessica Robles. She was given $700 in additional groceries and a new job.
